    How Is Abortion a Right?

    It's not even in the bill of rights, so how can it be a right?
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    Is birth in the bill of rights or is it the prerogative of two people of opposite gender to create it?

    A right? I don't know. A lot of things are specifically mentioned as rights in the bill of rights. Is it your right to use a table saw? To wear a watch? To get plastic surgery?

    I do know it has been deemed legal by the supreme court.

    Frankly I don't love abortion debates though. Emotion often clouds rational dialogue.

    It's called the right to privacy, my friend. The Supreme Court has long since determined privacy to be an implied constitutional right. I would also go further and suggest that it SHOULD be considered a protected right under the equal protection clause as well.

    I don't see why. The rest of your post does not change the fact that you do not know why abortion is a right, does it?

    Ah, so it's implied. Noted.
